 It was started by her donors (who were complaining about access) and the criticism isnt even that bad or damaging. It's much ado about nothing. And I say that as someone that didn't like the pick and preferred someone that did not have presidential ambitions for precisely this reason.  | 
						
 Seriously! You beat me to it. How many breathless “anonymous tell-alls” have we been subjected over the last five years?  | 
| Harris is doing a fantastic job. Haters fall back, as folks used to say. | 
						
 Fantastic job? Care to elaborate?  | 
							
						
 Her performance speaks for itself.  | 
							
						
 DP. "Performance" is probably a good word for what she is doing.  | 
							
						
 Whoever advises her that snarky unreformed sorority girl act is cute is an idiot. She comes across an immature and unprofessional hack. You're in your 40s ma'am, you're not a cute 20 year old ginger who can get away with being a snotty mean girl.  | 
| I smell a hit job from the President’s folks. They’re trying to force her on board, to row in the same direction. At best she seems merely present. That said no one ever got a statue for being a great VP. She’s just biding her time, waiting for another shot at the White House and hoping to right her poor performance in the previous primaries. | 
							
						
 She is appropriately performing her duties.  | 
						
 actually, she's bidening her time.  | 
							
						
 The difference is that Kayleigh seemed to have answers to reporters' questions, even if it wasn't what they wanted to hear (or the sound bite they needed for their pre-written news story, featuring anonymous sources close to the WH). I didn't like her, but she did a better job fielding tough questions (most of which I disagreed with). Psaki deflects tough questions with snark. Most of the media views that as "clapping back" against right wing media. Yet doing so makes her look petty in the eyes of many independent voters. She would better serve her boss's agenda if she built up more credibility with viewers (not just the WH press corps who are looking for a sound bite).  | 
						
      
Oh my.  | 
							
						
 Yes, it most certainly does.

 Kayleigh only answered the questions that she had stuff for in her binder. Any question that wasn't in her binder, she'd slam it shut and walk off. Psaki answers tons of questions and answers them well. She's only taken to snark with a few specific people, like Doocey, who ask a lot of bogus questions. I recall the Trump White House giving certain reporters a lot of crap too. Any "independent voter" who thinks this is petty should have thought the same and worse about McEnany.  |
